The event will feature four identical kitchens. Each chef will be equipped with a kitchen, fridge, table, stove-top range and pantry of ingredients. All ingredients in the pantry are fair game, and to spice up the competition, cooks will be required to use “mystery ingredients.”

The judges – Jaqueline Pecor ( Bake It with Booze blogger), Nicole Rogers (Farm-to-Fork project manager) and Garrett McCord ( Vanilla Garlic blogger and cookbook author) – will be ranking the dishes based on plate presentation and composition, creativity, flavor and taste, and their ability to use the ingredients.

The competition runs 4-7 p.m. Winners of the cook-off will be announced at 6:45 p.m.
